Doran Regional Park

I'm not a big fan of campgrounds because I usually want peace and quiet, but I really enjoyed my one night here.  I was surrounded by huge rigs that dwarfed my truck camper, but everyone was quiet and respectful, leaving me to enjoy the sounds of the wind, rain, and seagulls that I came to enjoy.  If you're sound sensitive, you might not enjoy the foghorn that goes off 24/7, but I loved it.  All and all, the campsites are clean but small with not a lot of privacy, the Cove/Gull/Shell campsites have almost private harborside beaches behind them and a large oceanside beach across the road.  All in all, a reasonable tradeoff for me.

This was an awesome campsite that was right near the lovely town of Bodega Bay. Plenty of amenities and very accessible. Gorgeous views of the waterfronts.

A great camping spot in Bodega Bay. We stayed in the shell loop and it was a short walk to the bathroom. Bathrooms were very clean, I was impressed, with coin operated showers (we did not use). There are lots of RVs but we pitched a tent. We went in October and one day it was completely sunny and the next morning it was pretty wet. Nothing too bad though. Only downside is how close together the campsites are, otherwise great site with fire ring and picnic table provided. We were at site 44 which had a great tree, but sites 42, 41, and 40 looked spacious and had great views. The town is a short drive away too with good seafood spots.

Cool spot. We stayed in a site on the Jetty. Only this I wish was a little better were the showers… they were in the bathroom even though they have a separate door and are coin operated

I wrote a whole review but exited to take photos & lost all typing. Don’t want to do it again. See photos. Be prepared for very windy weather, otherwise great park.

We escaped without a scratch but had some, ahem, 'fascinating' moments with our feathered friends. The birds were so fun to watch, especially if you're a fan of the movie! This was the start of a beach vacation, which was the perfect getaway! The campground was very clean. Restrooms and showers were decent. No power and water spigots are there to gather water. Spots are fairly close to the bay. It's not a bad place to pitch camp in the entire area. Change up in the campers a different night was irritating, but the campground ranger got it under control quickly. Highly suggest taking scooters or your bicycle as there are many places to explore within the park. We had fun being part of our own version of "The Birds." You must go into the town to get the experience of seeing where the movie " The Birds" was filmed🐦‍⬛🦅🐦🦆🦜

Great (and big) park in Bodega Bay with several separate campgrounds. We got lucky and snagged a last minute spot for 2 nights in August. Easy access to the beach, lots of day use areas all around this park, and bonus: a dog beach that was available on a trial basis when we were there- dogs got to run free on this little patch of enclosed beach- wonderful. Hope it becomes a permanent feature! 

Showers were $2 for 5 minutes, there’s recycling here (a separate bin for propane cylinders too). 

This campground has a lot of in and out traffic and day use visitors and overall more activity than the Westside campground across the way. We enjoyed both of them.

I loved my spot right by the ocean. The bathrooms were nice and had hot water.
Stay in the Cove campsites!

It sucks that so many people go here now. Allowing people to book so far in advance takes away from people trying to camp that have to travel from great distances that cannot risk arriving for the first come first serve spaces!!!

This campground is lovely. Easy access to potable water. Helpful hosts. Access to both the cove and ocean. For us the downside is that we were surrounded by large RV’s, which is not our preference. After 8 when they generators turned off it was lovely.

If I returned to this campground my preferred spot would be 75 or 76 as they are private and have bay access.

Nice campground, no hook ups is one downside, but would stay again. Employees are very nice and helpful. Bathroom showers clean. Verizon cell service 5g strong coverage.

Walks, birds, great sky, no hookups but nice

Great campground to visit with the family and get away. Fires are allowed most of the year. The campground has coin operated showers and flushable toilets. As well the day use area allows fires in designated fire pits of course. Restaurants and bars are about a 10 to 15 minute drive away. Highly recommended the best campsites are near Cove camp

There's a loud boat horn, all day and night. Miwok is set up as a group campsite so there is no privacy or space between neighbors. There is no view other than other campsites or the parking lot at most of the Miwok campsites. Prepare for cold wind and wetness (fog, humidity) at your camp. The facilities are safe, clean, and monitored.

Beautiful spot to spend a little time. Take in some coastal wildlife and walk along the beach. There’s no hookups at RV camp sites so be prepared. There’s potable water connections to top up in the site areas and there’s a dump near the entrance. Generator hrs while I was here were 8-8 but with the wind noise I never heard one. It was windy as heck (mid May) but ymmv. Cell service is spectacular. I carry AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile and it’s some of the best service I experience camping anywhere.

Great campground right on the water with beautiful views. We stayed in the Jetty Campground. It’s breezy (not many trees to block the bay winds) the other campground loops looked to have more wind cover) Bathrooms/showers were okay needed a good cleaning. Campground host was very nice. Pay for showers and dump station. No hook ups. Only markets nearby are very pricy so stock up before you come.

Great area to fish, crab, view wildlife (sea lions were so cool) and go tidepooling.

Wow, this beach side camping is just what you think of when you RV. Sites are well spaced, clean, well tended. There is a dump station on site, and water. No electric or hook ups. The camp hosts were great, even leaving sand dollars out for our kids as a souvenir. Be prepared, the wind can be brutal! Waking up to the sunrise and sea birds is a fantastic memory.

Agree with previous reviews that it’s best suited for RV camping. Spacious beach, cozy neighbors, consistent traffic, excellent sunset with shockingly beautiful waves

I am a tent camper.  This regional park is a draw for the pristine miles of beach you have access to.  The camping however, is best suited for RVs.  Mostly because of the fact it is open and the fact that it is windy.  No shelter for tents.

It is large campground with lots of RVs all year round.  It also gets a lot of day use visitors so it can be crowded.  Used by fishermen to take their boats out in Bodega Bay.

But if you hear a beach calling you - you can walk on this beach for literally miles.

You need a reservation well in advance.  One of the campground has the Bodega Harbor on one side and on the other side the ocean (Jetty).

There is access to a trail that goes back towards the highway and is great for bird watching.

It is well maintianted and a plus is coin operated showers.

One of my favorite places to camp! The tent camp sites are kind of small, but very close to the beach. Beautiful sunsets. Campground is near bodega bay and shops. Fishing is allow but it’s pretty shallow. Rangers frequent the campground. Clean bathrooms and showers.

Nice little campground right on the beach. Nice long beach that's great for walking, surfing (if there's swell), and just relaxing in general. Tends to have a bit of a breeze at night with not a whole lot of natural protection for tent camping in my experience.

This is an easy camp to just roll in and set up. Boat ramp is just across the road if you're here for fishing. Bathrooms aBeach is fine but if you're looking for waves better to keep going northwest around the point to Salmon creek. Bring quarters for the showers! The strand of beach is quite long- great for a run/walk. Running the road back toward the camp entrance takes you past some interesting slough land with a walkway and tons of egrets and herons. This place gets really crazy during crabbing season (typically Nov-April).

There are only a handful of tent only sites, most of which are secluded by trees. We have gone twice and enjoyed it. The group site is large and open. Beach access is very easy, especially with kids. The beach is wide, flat and great for families. The first Saturday of the month the rangers do a tide pool talk. They bring sea creatures (like sea stars, sea slugs etc) to share and let the kids hold them.

One thing to be prepared for is the wind. The tent sites are VERY windy, especially at night.

Quick one night. Lots of nice spots. Very clean. Staff was very friendly. We didn't have any issues with the wind.

I arrived late around 8 pm. It was very windy 30 to 40 mph. My legs were spent. Thank goodness i had the wind at my back fo the majority of the day. I went straight to the hiker biker camp site set up camp ate and crashed. The next am i got up took a 3 dollar 🚿. And looked around

This campground is great rv full h[k ups tents hot showers fishing crabbing ocean on one side bodega bay the other. Wind surfing surfing. All in all many many rec oppurtunities in this area. Now on my bicycle into the abyss HWY 1
